SUMMEK IN TIIK ^VI^•TKH TIME. 

THE CITY OF SAVANNAH. 



This beautiful Southern city, with its wide, shaded streets, its beautiful 
parks, its pleasant homes, deUghtful drives, and its spacious modern hotels, 
is well worth many days travel merely to see. One is amply repaid such a 
trip: and for any one going South, without spending at least a few days in 
Savannah, there is an omission in the trip which will always be r(!gretted. 

Savannah has a population of over 65,000: it covers an area of 4,000 acres, 
and has a property valuation of $40,000,000, and a commerce of $125,000,000. 
The city has 110 miles of streets, 65 acres of public parks, 25 miles of street 
railway and 5 miles of wharves. 

Geographically it is at the head of ship navigation on the Savannah river, 
18 miles from the ocean, on a plateau 50 feet above the level of the sea. 

The average temperature is 66°, approximating that of Bermuda, Gib- 
ralter, Spain; Palermo, Sicily; Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia. 

It is dehghtfully situated as a residence city, and since the construction 
of The Desoto, one of the finest of the palatial winter hotels of the South, 
equal to the celebrated Ponce De Leon or Tampa Bay Hotel, Savannah has 
become one of the great winter resorts of the South. 

No other American city has such wealth of foliage, such charming seclu- 
sion and such sylvan perfection, so united with all the convenience and com- 
pactness of a great commercial city. 

Its Attractiveness. 

To the Northerner, Savannah has peculiar attractions— all pronouncing it 
* ' That Beautiful City . " The drive to Thunderbolt, over the shell road, passing 
Cathedral Cemetery, Bonaventure, and Greenwich Park, with glimpses of 
Thunderbolt River, is very pleasant. And then a visit should be paid to see 
the beauties of Bonaventure, one of the most naturally attractive spots in this 
whole country, with its mighty yet graceful oaks, with their beautiful drapery 
of Spanish moss spreading their boughs and superb foliage over the wide 
avenues. While Bonaventure alone is suflicient to induce a visit to Savannah, 
there are, besides, many other attractive spots, among which may be noted 
Thunderbolt, Greenwich Park, Tybee Beach, Isle of Hope, Montgomery, 
Beaulieu, and White Bluff, all having their special claims. 

Throughout the city are numerous lovely parks and spacious pubUc 
squares, bordered by stately private residences and other imposing buildings. 
One of the finest and most complete hotels in the United States is logated here. 

This attractive "Forest City" may equcilly well be called "The Monumental 
City." Its memorials to heroes, linked with its history from the hour of the 
city's birth on the lofty bluff amid the friendly Yamacraws, mark a grateful 
people. Greene, Pulaski, Jasper, and Gordon still stand before their eyes in 
stone and brass. The Confederate soldier, with his comrades fallen at Gettys- 
burg, is commemorated by affecting and appropriate monumental art. 

Its parks and squares are adorned with statues, fountains and artistic 
mounds, gigantic oaks and magnolias, with here and there catalpas and banana 
trees. Among the flowers the most beautiful are the rose and the cameha 
japonica, which bloom luxuriantly in mid-winter in the open air. 

But its natural beauty is not all that Savannah boasts. Its architecture 

/ILW/IY5 TR/IVEL VIA THE 5/IV/lNNrtH LINE. 



6 SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. 

is varied and striking; much of it in the quaint fashion of by -gone days, but 
with those cliaracteristics that the art of the present day is eager to adopt. 

It is rich in liistoric memories; its schools are unsurpassed; its society is 
cultured; art is patronized, and all the influences exist which make a city 
attractive. All classes of society are found here as elsewhere, and the ques- 
tion of nativity, antecedents and political or religious views create as few 
distinctions as can probably be found in any community in the world. The 
stranger is welcomed and the new-comer finds friendly neighbors around him. 

The Health of Savannah. 

The health record of Savannah for the past ten years is a part of the his- 
tory of the city, and shows to advantage. The authorities have each year 
made liberal appropriations for preserving the city's health, and Savannah is 
to-day in the front rank of the sea-coast tov.-ns from a sanitary standpoint. 

With hundreds of vessels coming annually from West Indian and South 
American ports, her quarantine system has enforced their being in good sani- 
tary condition before they are admitted to the city, and thus a commercial 
intercourse with those countries has been fostered, and, at the same time, the 
city has protected itself against epidemic diseases. The plant for disinfecting 
purposes, recently completed, is the latest improvement in maritime sanitation. 

The Water Supply. 

Savannah's water supply is entirely from artesian wells, and it may be 
interesting to know that cholera, which threatened this country for two years, 
could not have here gained ground, as it would Iiave been impossible to have 
contaminated the water supply. Garbage is disposed of by cremation: an 
inspection of the city will show that there is constant care in sanitary affairs. 

Commercial Statistics of the Port. 

A slight glance at the statistics of the Port will illustrate. The exports of 
Cotton in 1893-94, amounting to 973,114 bales, were valued at §38,800,000. 
Receipts of Cotton the present season will probably be over one million bales. 
The export of Naval Stores in 1893 was 245,146 casks of spirits antl 1.025.569 
barrels of Rosin, of the value of $7,000,000. The total values of exports moved 
by water transportation alone was §74,432,290 in 1893. The value of importa- 
tions to §68,943,604 in 1893. The value of the exports of Timber and Lumber 
this last year was §2,000,000; that of Fruits and Vegetables §3,000,000; that of 
Pig Iron nearly $1,500,000, while that of Cotton Seed Oil, a manufacturing in- 
dustry not yet six years old at this port, reached last year a value of §1,345,000. 
The movement of Commercial Fertilizers by the great railway lines from 
Savannah amounted to 158,615 tons. The value of real estate and improve- 
ments amount to thirty millions in 1893. 

Savannah is now the second Cotton port of America, and the first Naval 
Stores port of the world. It is the largest port on the South Atlantic Coast, 
and its annual commerce amounts to more than §125,000,000. 

The sections of country made tributary to Savannah by railway lines are 
among the richest in the United States in agricultural and mineral wealth, the 
latter as yet in the first stage of development, and the volume of increasing 
products will demand more extended faciUties for movement. 

THE SAVANNAH LINE STEAMERS ARE THE FINEST.

Ocean Steamship Company and Steamship Lines. 

No small faetdr in workini;: out the i)rosi)('rity of Suvannah and the Stato 
has been the various steamship lines, which have been increased in capacity as 
needed until tliere are now thirty -four sailings, and as many arrivals, monthly 
between Savaimah and northern ports. Further additions are in contempla- 
tion. The most potent agX'ncy in these lines has been, and is, the Ocean Steam- 
ship Company of Savannah. Originated in 1873 it was the successor and took 
up the business of three separate lines which had previously ran between New 
York and Savannah, operating steamships of limited capacity. The business 
increasing rapidly, necessitating ships of larger tonnage and greater speed, 
contracts were successively made for the construction of first-class freight and 
passenger ships, which have been multiplied and magnified, until the fleet now 
amounts to nine ships, (see page 13). Baltimore is also directly reached by 
a line of steamers operated by the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation 
Company. 

Railway Connections and Harbor. 

These great steamships, in close connection with the Central Railroad of 
Georgia, the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, the Plant System, and 
the Florida Central and Peninsula R. R., have penetrated for Savannah's 
growth all. Georgia and Florida and the fertile fields of Alabama, South Caro- 
lina, Mississippi and Louisiana. Good railway connections carry their business 
still farther, to Memphis, Kansas City and across the Missouri. The harbor 
is safe, with a good draught of water. With a sea-bar unsurpassed on the 
South Atlantic, giving twenty -six feet at mean high water; the river channel 
is as yet not fully equal to it, vessels of not more than twenty-three feet draft 
now working it. The project of the U. S. Engineer is to deepen this channel 
to twenty -six feet by dredging and retaining walls, a result considered easily 
practicable at comparatively small cost, thus making the channel the equal to 
the sea-bar in carrying the great sea-going steamers that will crowd this port. 

Foreign Ships. 

In addition to the coastwise steamsliip service and the numerous large 
sailing vessels plying North, the port has the present season had the advan- 
tage of 100 large foreign steamers and over 200 saiHng vessels for moving its 
great traffic. 

Steamship Schedules. 

The career of the Ocean Steamship Company was commenced with a 
weekly sailing to New York. It was soon after increased to a semi -weekly 
and tri-weekly line, and is now working a schedule of four sailings a week, 
while the Boston service has been increased from a weekly sailing to one every 
four days. Increase of facilities has brought increase of business, resulting in 
construction of ships of greater capacity and speed. Steady improvements in 
this direction have been attained, until the Company realizes in the construc- 
tion of the " Kansas City " the possession of the finest coast line steamer that 
sails from the city of New York. This superb steamer is too well known by 
her speed, comforts and beauty to need detailed description. She is the Queen 
of the Coast.

OCEAN STEAMSHIP COHPANY, 

(Bi-:twkp:n New Youk and Savannah.) 

New England and Savannah Steamship Company, 

(Between Boston and Savannah.) 



FROM AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT. 

(Copyrighted, 1894.) 



Everybody Goes to Florida, 

or down South somewhere, to avoid the cold and shish of the Northern win- 
ter. If every bod}^ doesn't go it isn't because they don't care to; there are 
other causes to deter them. The vital question with these people is: How can 
the trip be made to secure the most comfort at the least cost? We say: 

"Always Travel by the Savannah Line." 



The Elegant Passenger Steamships of this Line to and from New York or 
Boston offer to the traveler to or from any point in 

Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, 

or the South generally, more than ordinary advantages, both as to cost and 
comfort; so much so that it is advisable to look over this " Document " care- 
fully and catch its intent fully before deciding how to travel. 

Travelers Generally 

are somewhat "foggy" as to what a steamship does: What are its regulations 
as to handling passengers? What does the steam.ship furnish free? And what 
does the steamship charge for? 

These Three Cuts, 

(next pages) "Taken From Life," show what elegance and comfort are on hand. 
All available without a cent of extra charge beyond holding a First Cabin or 
Excursion (First Class) ticket: while the traveler by rail has to pay for every- 
thing he gets: in fact, it is often remarked that the cost of a ticket by rail 
is only a small part of the expense. It's §5 here, it's a dollar for this, 50c. for 
that, 25c. for this, 10c. for that, ad infinitum. 

UNEQUALED KACILITIES.

Always Secure Berths in Advance. 

When ordering berths or rooms always be as explicit as possible, l^emcm- 
ber that all First Class rooms have two berths each, one lower and one upper. 
Intermediate rooms have three, and sometimes, as on the " Kansas City," si.x 
berths each. Always state plainly the name in such a manner as to indicate 
the sex. (This is very important.) Do not order a room and only give cue 
name. Remember that a room is for more than one i>ersou. Order berths or 
rooms from vour nearest ticket agent or anv airent named on inside of front

cover of this book. Should you secure a berth or room and for some cause 
cannot go on the steamer specified, please notify our office at once, that we 
may re-assign the space to another. 

At Any Time 

within twenty -four hours of departure of the steamer, one can go immediately 
to the steamer, and by showing his room card or notice received of assignment, 
will be allowed to put hand baggage and parcels in room, but cannot use room 
for sleeping purposes. Accommodations or meals aboard ship are not provided 
until steamer leaves. 



THE FASTEST PASSEjYQEB STEAMSHIPS 



12 SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. 

Meals. 

Coffee and tea are always ready, and can be had at any moment, day or 
night. Rising bell is rung at 7:00; Breakfast at 8:00 a.m.; Broth at 11:00 
a.m.; Dinner at 2:00 p.m.; Supper at 6:00 p.m. 

Seats at Table. 



There is no rush for seats; Avhen the purser takes up the passenger's ticket 
he then assigns him a seat at table (all seats are numbered). This seat is that 
passenger's during the voyage, unless for good reasons a change is made, and 
then a new seat number is issued. 

Baggage. 

Trunks (except one small steamer trunk) are not allowed in staterooms. 
Baggage can be checked through same as by rail, and is cared for same as by 
rail, except that it is not handled so roughly. In case of necessity any time 
during the voyage the passenger can get at his baggage by explaining to the 
Steward the need and surrendering liis check. 



On Arrival at Savannah, 

there are omnibuses in waiting at the 
wharf to take passengers to hotels or to 
railroad stations. The expense of this 
transfer is included in all through tick- 
ets beyond Savannah, there being a 
transfer coupon on the ticket which 
will take the passenger and baggage to 
the hotel or railroad station. Electric 
street cars are near the wharf. 

The Railroad Connections at 
Savannah 



are very ample and convenient, there 
being three first-class railroads, whose 
equipment and service are fully up to 
the highest standard. These are: The 
Central Railroad op Georgia, The 
Savannah, Florida and Western 
Railway (The Plant System), The 
Florida Central and Peninsular 
Railroad, providing some ten to four- 
teen trains daily to various points; fully 
provided with the Finest Parlor and 
Sleeping Cars, Vestibule Trains, etc. 
The run over to Jacksonville is less 
than five hours. 



On Arrival at New York or 
Boston, 

an Agent of the Transfer Company 
comes aboard the steamer, and will de- 
Uver baggage to any required destina- 
tion, in either city, or re-check. The 
charge for this service is 40c. to 75c. 
per piece, depending upon service re- 
quired. There are carriages in waiting 
at the docks on arrival to carry pas- 
sengers to any part of the city. At 
either city the facilities to reach any 
locality by elevated trains or street cars 
are exceedingly ample and convenient; 
the officers of the steamer will be glad 
to direct passengers how to reach any 
desired locality.

SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. 13 

First=Class Passengers 

desiring to occupy a wliole room alone can do so upon payment of $10.00 (ten 
dollars) in addition to one tirst-class ticket, provided that the ship is not 
crowded and si)ac'e in demand. 

The Charge for Children 

is same as by railroads, i. e.: Under 5 years, free; between 5 and 12 years, 
half fare; over 12 years, same as adult. Do not promise any passenger that 
possibly a ehild over age might be overlooked. Remember it is not like a 
conductor of a train, who, in the rush incident to collecting tickets, does not 
have time to question closely on the subject. The child is on the steamer for 
a couple of days, around everywhere, and is sure to attract the- attention of 
some officer as to its age, and the Pursers are required to enforce oui* 
regulations. 

First=CIass and Excursion (First=CIass) 

Tickets entitle the holder to a berth in a tirst-class room; meals and service 
while on steamer; without extra charge; affording, really add truly, all the 
luxury of a first-class hotel. 

Intermediate 

Passengers are entitled, without extra charge, to berth (this should be secured 
in advance) in room in forward cabin (the lettered rooms on the plans; and 
meals at second table in the first-class cabin of any steamer except the 
" Kansas City." This steamer ("Kansas City ") is provided with a separate 
cabin for Intermediate Passengers. 

Steerage 

Passengers are provided with meals and a clean mattress, but must provide 
themselves with covering when necessary. The men and women are provided 
for separately in the steerage. It is not necessary to engage berths in advance 
for Steerage Passengers. Ample and comfortable quarters will be provided 
when they present themselves at the steamer. 

Explain to Our Lady Friends: 

Each steamer is provided with a first-class Stewardess, who is there to look 
after the comfort and to add to the pleasure of the lady passengers, and they 
will always find her ready to do anything and everything conducive to their 
comfort and pleasure. 

All Our Steamers 

are provided Avith white waiters and bell men, carefully selected as peculiarly 
adapted to that service. 



Savannah Products Transported Promptly.

THE SERVICE. 

The steamships of The Sa vaiinali Line perform the service all the 
year: four ships each week from and to New York; one, every Thursday, 
from and to Boston; one, every ten days (for freight), from and to Philadelphia 
(Philadelphia passengers are booked via New York).

touch of a modern Aladdin, has grown upon the shore of Lake "Worth in tlie marvel- 
oiisly short s)iace of nine months. It seems incredible, yet is a fact, tliat all this 
could Iiave been accomplished in that time, especially so as all the labor and material 
was hrouirht fi'um a distance. The magnitude of the undertaking, to the f)rdinary 
mind, would seem apalling. The hotel is in the midst of tropical foliage, not rif 
recent planting, but in the stage of full growth, giving one an idea of the tropical as 
it really exists.

The Poiu-e I>e Leon is one of tbe finest hotels in the world. Built in the style of the 
early Spanish renaissance, strongly influenced by the Mooi'ish spirit. The material 
is a shell composite, of a light mother-of-pearl color, ornamented with terra cotta. 

In speaking of the construction of this hotel, the word built would be improper, — 
it was casf,— the shell and cement being poured in a mould while soft, and rammed 
into proper po.sition within its mould. Beautiful gardens of flowers, evergreens, 
walks, and fountains, recall all the stories of childhood days of "good fairies" and 
their abodes. The interior, with its complete and elegant finish, lavish display of 
the very finest works of art, is be.yond description in the small space at command 
here. To quote a friend, '-Think of all the wonderfully beautiful things you have 
i-ead. heard, or dreamed of, then see the ' Ponce,' and you will sav ' its more than

EXTRACTS FROM A BOOK PRINTED IN 1776, 

FOR R. GOODBY, BY J. TOWERS AND K. BALDWIN, IN 

PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, ENGLAND. 

To the northeast of old Mexico lies the country of Florida, ceded 
to us from the Spaniards by the late peace. It is about one thou- 
sand miles broad and six hundred miles long in its greatest length 
and breadth. 

This country remained under the dominion of the Florida Indians 
until 1718. The Apalachian and Candadauio Indiansclaim Florida. 

The chief towns are St. Augustine, Santa Maria, and Quicheffe. 

The many rivers with which Florida is watered not only abound 
in all manner of fish, and render it inferior to no country in the 
world for pleasantness and fertility. 

The native inhabitants of Florida are idolaters, and worship the 
sun and moon. Their worship consists of saluting the rising sun 
and chanting to his praise ; besides, they offer sacrifice to him four

times a year, but they do not offer any bloody victim to this planet, 
because they look upon it as the parent of life. The ceremony 
consists of sports, dances, and diversions, and the setting at liberty 
the birds of the sun, which they have brought in a cage for the 
occasion. 

Some savages of Florida sacrifice their first-born to their sove- 
reigns, while the mother weeps and groans over the stone against 
which the infant is to be dashed. The victim must always be a 
male infant. 

The Floridians are of a very revengeful temper. They scalp 
their enemies in the same manner as other nations of North 



America, and hang the legs and arms upon poles set up for that 
purpose. The women cut their hair short and scatter it over their 
dead husbands, and they are not allowed to marry again till their 
hair has grown as long as it was before. Some Floridians bury live 
slaves along with their monarchs. 

The Apaches believe some of the good are carried up into the 
stars, while the bad will live in snow and ice. The Indians of 
Florida generally have but one wife, who is obliged to be true to 
her husband on pain of cruel death. 

They give their male children the names of the enemies they 
have killed ; the girls bear the names of dead females. 

The Floridians use emblems to record events. They also instruct 
their children in everything which relates to their families and 
nation.

The Indians are a fine-shaped race; the men are tall, the women 
little. They annoint their bodies with oil. Their skins are dark 
brown. They wear a gidle with a piece of cloth drawn between 
their legs, and turned over their girdle before and behind, which 
looks something like breeches. The women wear a kind of petti- 
coat to their knees. 

They have high mounds on which they build Signal Fires.

A TRIP UNDER THE GROUND. 

ANONYMOUS. 

A hundred years ago three Spanish sailors left their vessel near 
Cedar Keys to cross the country to the St. John's, where they ex- 
pected to ship for their native country. They rested at a lake 
near where now stands Gainesville. A curious lake it was, having" 
at one end a vortex, where the waters entered the bowels of the 
earth through a canopied archway. They found an Indian boat on 
the shore, and, impelled by curiosity, they entered the cavern a 



little way. Invited by the wonderful coraline formation, they went 
yet a little further, when to their dismay the current became too 
strong for them to return. On they went for miles and miles, and, 
in utter darkness but from the torches made from pitch pine sticks, 
fortunately found in the boat. The waters were as clear as crystal, 
and swept in majestic splendor between walls of coral ; here run- 
ning swiftly and there expanding into limpid lakelets. It seemed 
that a day and a night had passed, they ever hoping to emerge into 
daylight, but great was their consternation when the stream ended

against a solid wall, the waters drawn down as through a funnel 
underneath the barrier. They fastened their boat to a projecting 
rock as near as they dare approach the vortex, then thought of 
means to escape. 

Their lights went out, which proved fortunate, for they beheld a 
glimmer of light through the limpid waters. A rope was fastened 
to the best diver of the three, who plunged into the vortex, was 
dragged back, and declared that the waters emerged but a few 
yards beyond. They all then took their last chance, dove through, 
coming up in what is now Silver Spring.

" THE TWO HALVES OF A HOG." 

BY N. S. GORE. 

Two gentlemen, one a resident of Florida, the other was on his 
first visit to the state, were driving through the country, the 
stranger was from Iowa, suddenly there was a cracking and rust- 
ling of palmettoes and with a grunt an animal ran across the road 
just ahead of the buggy containing the two gentlemen, our Iowa 
friend was much startled and surprised; he never had seen such an 
animal before. "Hold on; says he: what's that?" 

"That's a hog, known in this country as the razor-back. The 
Iowa man was completely taken aback wondering what such a hog 
was good for. They proceeded on their journey soon forgetting 
the incident, when there was another rustling of bushes and another 
grunt, another hog ran across the road. Our Iowa friend was very 
much startled, tapped the resident on the arm saying " hold on a 
moment, there's the other half of that hog."

DID THEY HUNT THE BEAR OR DID THE BEAR HUNT 

THEM ? 

There was a party of gentlemen from Georgia, having heard 
of the abundance of bears in Florida, came down to Titusville 
to take a bear hunt. They secured the services of a native and 
his dogs, as a guide and to assist in making things lively. There 
was two hammocks called the Little and the Big Hammock in that 
neighborhood. The gentleman who was the leader of the party, 
and who had said a good deal about how he would shoot a bear if 
he ever got his eyes on one, was stationed by the guide in one of 
the cow paths leading from the Little to the Big Hammock, and

in a while, otherwise everything was very quiet, with the stiHness 
that is very remarkable to a stranger. His thoughts were wander- 
ing, and he soon forgot what he was there for, when suddenly he 
heard a cracking of the bushes and he saw a bear coming. As 
soon as the bear saw him it stood on its hind legs and looked at 
him with utter astonishment, while he threw down his gun and 
cigar and made tracks at his utmost speed away from the bear ; 
he looked over his shoulder, and the bear was going in opposite 
direction as rapidly as he was. He then joined his party in the 
place where they had been located by the guide, who had assured 
them if there was one there would be a great many more. Our 
young friend had a good deal to say about how they were going to 
shoot the bears, in which all the party joined heartily, even de- 
scribing among themselves how they were going to do it. They 
had the same experience that the man had had by himself, they 
had to wait quite a while. In the course of time the bushes began 
to crack, and with a startled expression they all jumped to their 
feet and saw what they thought was at least five thousand bears 
making right for them. They all left everything and made for 
home as hard as the-y could without firing a shot. It was learned 
afterwards that there was just eight bears came out towards them.

wharf, and shook hands with them all, and invited them up to the 
house; they came with a noiseless step, in single file carrying their 
rifles, five dogs following in silence. They left their rifles at the 
door, while they seated themselves around the dining room. We 
prepared a nice lunch and coffee for them. I asked them "who 
is chief?" They replied "no chief." "Which brave oldest?" 
"Tommy Tiger, six foot two inches tall, two hundred twenty 
pounds." 

I gave Tommy the place of honor. Two of them had vests on 
over their shirts ; they have a great passion for vests, often wear- 
ing four, one over the other, the same may be said of their hanker- 
chiefs around their necks. Their buckskin leggins cover limbs, 
whose muscular development, symmetry of form would be the envy 
of a sculptor. 

I asked them their names. They were Tommy Tiger, John 
Billy, Charlie Hooker, Billy Smith, Jack Scarber, Billy Few and 
Jimmy Doctor. We asked them if they had good luck hunting; 
they replied : "heap echoo, no look a see "; meaning : plenty deer, 
no bear. Tiger said : " White squaw heap brave, no 'fraid, much 
good, bring white squaw, echoo ; may be look o see. Come back 



two moons, go Titusville, get heap Wyoma, good time." Meaning 
when they got to Titusville they would get plenty of whiskey. 
They passed out in silence, took their guns and stood in a group 
under the oaks and palm trees, each with the proud and lofty bear- 
ing, of the children of the woods. We escorted them to their 
canoes, shook hands with each one, told them to come again. Tak- 
ing their long slender poles, they pushed their narrow craft swiftly 
through the water, were soon out of sight beyond the island. 

We were somewhat surprised to see an Indian and canoe, glide

up to our wharf on Sunday, only two days after the Indians had 
departed. It was Billy Smith ; he said: " echoo, you want um?" 
we told him we would be glad to pay him for it; he shook his head 
and said: "no money, you take um, Indian send um, Indian no 
forgit; white squaw good, no 'fraid." 

Billy had pulled that canoe of his, five miles through a heavy 
norther to bring us that meat to repay us for our kindness. 

We gave him a good dinner and coffee, then he said " water 
rough, blow hard bym-by, me go camp." 

Since the above incidents, Charlie Hooker died by poison. Jack 
Scarber was drowned, Jimmy Doctor killed several of the Indians, 
and was himself shot for the murders.

"4-11-44" 

BY F. G. BALDWIN, 

A most wonderful discovery has just been made at Granada, a 
station on the line of the Sanford and St. Petersburg Railway, 
which is of the greatest interest to antiquarians, and which settles 
forever some of the disputed points in regard to the deluge and 
the course sailed by the Ark in that memorable cruise. 

In prospecting for phosphate some miners came upon an old safe 
which, being made of bronze, had withstood the corrosive action 
of the elements and was in perfect condition. 

As the time lock on it had run down and the combination was 
found to be set on the numbers 4-11-44 it was easily opened. 

Instead of the hoard of Spanish gold the finders expected to 
greet their eyes, they found a roll of parchment, a handful of 
ancient counterfeit coins and a bundle of 60 day passes — including 
meals and stateroom — which had evidently been taken up and 
cancelled. 

On unrolling the parchment it was found to be written in a

THE DADE MASSACRE. 

BY J, A. BELCHER. 

This was the most terrible of all the terrible occurrences of the 
war with the Seminole Indians in Florida. As it was believed for 
some time there was not a single individual left of the United 
States party the accounts of this battle were very unreliable, or at 
least thought so to be. 

The writer of this article, being a resident near the location of 
this terrible affair has always taken great interest in the statements 
made by those in any way familiar with the circumstances, History 
has been scanned, current stories listened to, and descendants 
interviewed. 

The Historians of the Seminole Wars, have very generally been 
quite hard on the negro guide Louis Fatio, accusing and seeming 
to believe that he dealt treacherous with the command of Major 
Dade in whose service he was acting. Louis had lived among the 
Indians many years and was familiar with their habits and customs 
and was a complete master of their language. 

Louis is still living, now about ninety-two years of age, and feels 
keenly this stain upon his name and it is from him the writer 
obtained quite a detailed account of the massacre of which the 
following is a summary : A new treaty had been made and quiet 
restored and all thought the war was over, but rumors of depreda- 
tions by the Indians in the neighborhood of Fort King (Ocala), 
decided the Commander at Army Headquarters at Fort Brooke 
(Tampa), to send reinforcements at once to Fort King, Major Dade 
was placed in command of a detachment of about 110 men for that 
purpose, who were to proceed at once to Fort King. The Com- 
mand left Fort Brooke a day or two before Chistmas, 1835, Louis 
arrived from Sarasota about this time, and Major Belton secured 
his services as guide and interpreter for the expedition to Fort 
King. As soon as Louis had joined the command, which had 
started a day before he had reached Fort Clinch, he was ordered 
by Major Dade to investigate as far ahead of the command as he 
could with safety. Louis soon found that it was evident the 
Indians were bent on making trouble, that the whites were mis- 
taken in their belief that the Indians were peaceful, he immediately 
reported his fears to the Commander, who ridiculed the idea, the 
more Louis investigated the more he was convinced trouble ahead. 

Several of the officers tried to persuade the Major that Louis 
was correct but he would not listen, yet one morning about this 
time Major Dade remarked to one of his officers, " See here. 
Captain, I had a strange dream last night, I dreamed I was among 
all the old officers that died in the war ; " then he told the names 
of those he met, told of how they looked, what they said and did, 
Louis remarked, "I could see the Major was anxious like." 

The Major would not let Louis venture far off and began to take 
precautions by throwing forward an advance guard, and using the 
bloodhounds to scour the country ahead of the troops. 

Strange to say the Indians had some secret way of their own, 
not even known to Louis, of throwing these dogs oft" the scent, or 
to use an Indian expression, " Don't you think we know what to do 
to make the dogs quiet." 

After crossing the Withlacoochee River the troops marched

about 3 miles, where there was a broad expanse of open pine 
woods with here and there clumps of Palmetto and wire grass. 
The advance guard was 200 yards ahead of the troops, when 
Major Dade observed a white mare about half mile up the road 
and ordered Louis to see what it meant, the next moment there 
was the crack of a rifle and Major Dade fell. That shot was fired 
by the Chief of all the Seminoles, Micanopy; that was the signal 
for the savages to commence firing, and there they were strung out 
into a long line, long enough to attack both flanks as well as front. 
The troops were surprised, but soon rallied and faced their foes 
manfully repulsing the Indians. Instead of following them the 
troops immediately set to work to strengthen their position by 
building breastworks with logs and trees and also placed their field 
piece in position. The Indians soon renewed the attack with great 
force and kept up an incessant and effective fire until every white 
man was killed. During all this Louis was laying flat on his face 
behind a pine tree and could hear and see all that transpired. 

This occurred on Dec. 28th, 1835, the remains of all these men 
now lie in the Graveyard at St. Augustine. The loss was Major 
Dade and 106 soldiers and officers.

TEADITION OP CHARLOTTE HARBOR, FLA. 

A hundred years ago a notorious Spanish pirate, by the name of 
Gasparilla, made this locality a rendezvous. It was just west of 
town when, being hotly pursued, he abandoned his vessel, buried 
the treasure, which consisted of over a million of dollars in Spanish 
and English coin and plate ware. The citizens never lose an op- 
portunity in trying to locate the hidden wealth. The writer, on 
making an excavation in an unfrequented spot, unearthed a tea- 
spoon, which at first appeared dark and stained, but being cleaned, 
revealed pure silver, and letters on handle read, "•f« Mexican 
Silver." 



THE LIVE LOG. 

BY B. T. ARNOLD. 

One day a man was hunting alligators around our lake. We 
took him to a point where we could usually see them. Just before 
we got to the point he left us behind, and began crawling through 
the grass towards the alligators. He got near enough, aimed over 
a '* log " at the alligator's eye showing out of water, and fired. 
He seemed to be very much surprised when the " log " jumped up 
and sped into the water.

WHY THE PALMETTO TREES ARE NOT ALL SMOOTH. 

On a St. John's River steamer during the winter season, it is 
amusing to hear the questions that are asked by the passenger 
who is making his first trip. Everything is so novel, so different 
from what you see in the north, that it attracts considerable atten- 
tion and comment. One day a lady who was very much interested 
asked the captain of the steamer how it was that some Palmetto 
trees were smooth while others were rough with a kind of a platted 
lattice work all around the body. The captain of the boat ex- 
plained the difference by saying, "In the Springtime, when the 
cabbage which grows in the top of these trees is ripe, it is quite a 
toothsome morsel, and the bears climb up the trees to get the 
cabbage, and sliding down keeps the tree smooth. Those that are 
not smooth are some that the bears have missed." 

A lady, who was afflicted with nearsightedness, during her first 
trip into Florida, spent part of the time in the extreme southern 
part of the State. Soon after her arrival she remarked to a gentle- 
man, a resident of the place, "I thought you did not have any 
frost down in this country." He said, " We do not have any frost 
to do any damage." "Why do you wrap all the Palmetto trees 
with burlaps, then ?" She had taken the platted bark for burlaps. 



ON THE WAR PATH. 

BY P. A. MCMILLAN. 

In the fifties a man by the name of Phelps, a Virginian, a famous 
bear hunter, had his tent pitched near the present site of Banyan, 
his dogs six in number were a cross between the mastif and Cuban 
blood hound, more savage than bruin himself. It was worth a man's 
life to approach the Bear Hunters Camp, in his absence.

to Fort Capnon, twice a month, a distance of about 150 miles. The 
mail carrier, a young man by the name of James Russell, had in- 
cured the emnity of Phelps, and the latter had vowed to shoot the 
former on sight, the Indians were on the war path, the settlements 
on the west bank of Indian River were broken up and the mail 
carrier dared not land his boat on the west shore on account of the 
hostiles, and was hard pressed by adverse winds, and grub run 
short. When Jim spied the tent on the Island he run his boat 
ashore and marched straight up to it not dreaming that it was his 
foe in to whose hands he had fallen. When near the tent the savage 
bear bogs sprang out and surrounded Jim, but did not touch him, 
but kept him a close prisoner until the arrival of Phelps some two 
hours later who had been out stalking deer for a little diversion. 
When, he, Phelps arrived saw his enemy in his hands, did he take 
his revenge. He asked what was wanted, and when he found that 
a man trying to perform the arduous task of carrying the mail at 
that time was worn out from exposure and hunger, he bade the 
dogs begone, took Jim by the hand, fed and sheltered him and thus 
ended what might have been under other circumstances, a Tragedy.

"MUSIC IN THE AIR." 

Near the mouth of the Alafia River there is an Ancient Cemetery, 
which from the size of the skeletons it is believed to have been the 
burying ground of a pre-historic race, many of the skeletons are 
more than seven feet long. 

Just opposite this cemetery is heard the " IVIusic of Alafia" as it is 
called ; the music is heard most generally at night, it appears to be 
in the air, and moves about most mysteriously, rising and falling, 
and seems to follow a boat for a mile or more. The sound seems 
to be hard to describe, some say it resembles the coo-ing of a dove, 
while others say it sounds like drunken revelers songs. Whether 
this music is produced by the Angelic Choirs or is the Music of 
the Spheres " your deponent saith not.

WHAT DROVE HIM TO SUICIDE. 

A man was found dead on the Withlacoochee River who com- 
mitted suicide under the conviction that he was his own grand- 
father, he left the following letter : 

" I married a widow with a grown-up daughter. My father 
visited our house very often, fell in love with my stepdaughter and 
married her. So my father became my son-in-law and my step- 
daughter my mother, because she was my father's wife. Some 
time afterward my wife had a son. He was my father's brother-in- 
law, and my uncle, for he was the brother of my stepmother. 

" My father's wife, i. e., my stepdaughter, had a son. He was, 
of course, my brother, and in the meantime my grand-child, for he 
was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother, be- 
cause she was my mother's mother. I was my wife's husband and 
grandchild at the same time, and as the husband of a person's 
grandmother is his grandfather, I am my own grandfather."

HE WARNED THEM. 

BY I. F. GRAHAM. 

At Interlachen there is a colored church with a history: The 
story runs that many years ago, the pastor of this flock was very 
anxious about his people, as they seemed to be doing everything 
but seeking "the narrow path," in fact, they were generally a "bad 
lot" in many ways. At one of those important revival meetings 
where the preacher gets warmed up, he spoke about as follows: 

" Look hea'h, you niggers," you got to quit your foolishness, 
you got to quit dat lying and dat stealing, you got to quit them 
both or you will surely go to dat hot place we bin talkin about. 
Now you better take warnin' in time and I want you to hear me, 
I'se done warned you and don't you forget it, and when you git dar 
and you see ?ne dar don't go to sayin, I didn't done tell you about 
dis in time.

FISH STORIES. 

Mr. L. S. Squier of Monson, Mass, sends the following account 
of a " catch " on Ocklawaha River: 

E. B. Gerald left Morrison Landing at twelve o'clock noon and 
rowed up the river about one mile, then he let his boat drift back to 
Morrison again, reaching that point at ten minutes before two, fish- 
ing as he drifted, on reaching Morrison he took an inventory of his 
catch and found he had caught, in that ride of less than two hours, 
86 pounds of lake trout: The smallest weighing 7 pounds and the 
largest 9^ pounds. 

Mr. Rob't G. Moore of Palm Beach, Fla, sends the following: 

Among the stories of great days for sport and a good catch, the 
last one of the season is laid in the " Land of Flowers." 

It seems from the story as told by Col. Geo. B. Swift, at the

One evening Capt. J. B. Clow and party, after discussing the 
relative merits of bait and etc., decided to make a try for King 
Fish off the coast, so commissioned one of the party to attend to 
bait and secure a boat; they went to bed so as to get an early start 
on the morrow, which developed into a nine a. m. one, but nothing 
daunted the party started and after five hours of the greatest sport 
known to the anglers they returned with 3,000 lbs. of King and other 
choice fish.

OLD AND NEW FLORIDA. 

r,Y MR. BRADJ,EY. 

Up to the close of the war (L865) the peninsular portion of Florida 
was very sparsely settled, while the northern part of the state was, 
and had been for many years, in a high state of cultivation, pro- 
ducing among other products the famous Sea-Island cotton. It is 
well known that St. Augustine is the oldest town in the United 

ANV TICKET AGENT can lell you

States, yet only a few miles below St. Augustine was merely a 
wilderness. 

The dividing line between old and new Florida is the Suwanee 
River. West of this river the counties of Madison, Jefferson, Leon, 
Gadsden and Franklin were thriving valuable large plantations, 
and most successful in their operations. The planters in this sec- 
tion were as well to do as any in the whole South. 

New Florida, east of the Suwanee, began to "boom" soon after 
the close of the war, when it seemed to be first realized that here 
was really the home of the orange and other fruits of the same 
family. At this time (1865) there was virtually no population, 
except possibly a few along the St. Johns, Ocklawaha, Manatee 
and other rivers, and along the Gulf Coast, but the aggregate was 
very small. 

Look at it now, old Florida, with its rich, large plantations and 
families with a history, and new Florida dotted with orange groves, 
vegetable gardens, and produces all kinds of fruit and flowers in 
abundance and has a live, wideawake population increasing daily.

SPEARING PISH ON INDIAN RIVER. 

BY MRS. C. F. LATHAM. 

Last evening my husband said; "Its a good night for a jack 
light, let us go fishing." I donned my fishing suit; we got into 
the row boat, and went outside of Scotts Park, as that is the best 
fishing grounds at Oak Lodge. We lit the pitch pine in the fire 
basket. I paddled the boat slowly while he stood in the bow, 
spear in hand, watching the bottom. Here the patches of sand 
showed up clear and the water was calm. Drifting slowly along 
about fifty feet from shore, my husband calls out "steady now," 
which meant to hold the boat still by sticking the oar in the

bottom of the river to hold the boat solid while he quickly plunged 
his spear into a big red bass. He held it down till he thought it 
was drowned, then reached over the side of the boat, down the 
spear, until he reached the fish. The next act was to take it with 
thumb and fingers in the eyes and lifting with the spear land the 
fish in the boat. 

But, alas, it was the old story over again; "man proposes " etc. 
Just as he hoisted that big fish into the boat there was a change of 
base; the fish gave a mighty flop, and I heard my husband say some- 
thing that did not sound like a thanksgiving sermon. On we went 
a little further, when, "steady again," and this time a four pound 
sheephead lay in the boat. Drifting slowly along my husband said 
"Great Scott! look at the sheephead around that old snag, can't 
get them all, here goes for the biggest one." It don't pay to be 
too greedy even in spearing fish, I think he tried to spear two at 
once, and his spear came up empty. This time it was thanksgiving 
and Christmas combined; and he did not call himself a person 



sound in the upper story. Another snag, Mr. Fish lay motionless, 
its death was swift, weight four pounds. 

He threw the spear at a huge red bass, but that fish had a call 
to his club. 

Now the fun commences, fish all around; we get excited, flop, 
flop, came the sheephead into the boat. Here comes a school of 
mullet, we get one of them. A big sea trout broke from the spear, 
so we did not have to clean that fish. I proposed just one more 
fish, but my husband said, "I guess we have all we need." He 
took the oars and pulled for home. We had been gone one hour 
and a half, and had caught one mullet, weight three pounds, and 
six sheephead, total weight twenty-three pounds..

THE HUMP-BACKED ALLIGATOR. 

BY S. H. DARE. 

Once upon a time, not many years ago, there lived on the banks 
of the St. John's River a very large alligator, who was afflicted with 
a mal-formation giving him the appearance of being hump-backed. 
This alligator lived at a point known as Dead-man's Bend, and it 
was one of the features of a trip on this river to see his alligatorship. 
Passengers were all astir when nearing Dead-man's Bend (so named 
because one of the crew of one of the steamers, was buried there 
to see this monster, and seldom were they disappointed, as he 
generally was taking his "sun bath" a thing these creatures enjoy 
to the fullest extent. One day the steamer had a goodly number 
of passengers, his alligatorship was viewed, admired, wondered at, 
and criticised, when a lady from the North asked the Captain

(Bravo by name and always truthful) "how did the alligator happen 
to be hump-backed?" The Captain knew that to fail to give his 
passengers any information wanted or to be ignorant on any point, 
meant that his company would dispense with his services, and he 
told this story to account for the hump: 

"In the days of the great Indian wars when the Seminoles were a 
great people, this ground was all tramped and fought over by these 
Indians. One day the great Chief, Charlie Apopka, was passing 
through this region, alone, as was his wont, and before crossing 
the river he thought he would take his lunch, so sitting down on a 
mossy log he prepared for a "snag" by building a fire and preparing 
some jerked venison he always carried for such emergencies, he 
had quite a large knife with a heavy handle, something like a 
pruning knife. When he liad cut the meat to his satisfaction he 
stuck the knife with quite a hard thrust into the log on which he 
was sitting, the mossy log struck him with its tail, it proved to be 
this very alligator and the Indian could not withdraw the knife, 
and nature set to work healing the wound by causing new flesh to 
grow around and over the knife and handle completely covering 
both, giving the appearance of their being a great lump on the 
creature's back." Since then he has always been known as the 
hump-backed alligator. 



A GHOST STORY. 

BY MRS. H. P. MANSFIELD. 

In every community there are a more or less number of eccentric 
individuals, and Florida has not entirely escaped. Here is a story 
current in neighborhood of Eagle Lake: 

A dozen years ago a "squatter" upon a government claim, built 
a log house, made every article of his furniture, not omitting fancy 
chairs with springs and rockers, hammocks, etc., cooked his own 
food, and performed all the labor on his ranch. 

Being fully a mile from any human being, some ghosts took pity,

and kept him company day and night. Although his sleeping 
apartment was securely locked, invisible hands would pull the 
covering off his bed, and wrap himself as tight as he could, they 
would roll him over and get the bedding. An Indian and Squaw, 
blanketed and knived, patroled his lake front, and when he pursued 
them with rifle in hand, or took sure aim, they would sink into 
oblivion. 

Once when crossing the lake at night, of a sudden he discovered 
a female sitting in the stern of his boat, steering out of the course; 
so persistent was she that he laid down his oars and crept along 
until very close to the figure, then giving a violent spring to grab 
her, he lost his balance and went overboard (be it known that he 
was not the first man who went overboard grabbing at a woman). 
However, she did not drown, neither did he rescue her, nor was she 
tangible. We all wished he might materialize a real one, who would

keep his house and be his companion (and ours), for he is a gentle- 
man of culture and a linguist. 

We advise him to advertise for a wife, but he is too modest, so 
if any refined lovable lady chances to spy this article, who would 
like a home in an orange grove, and a kind husband, one who 
could drive the spooks away, she would do well to put in a claim.

upon having your ticket read over The Savannah, Florida and 
Western Railway (The Plant System) from Savannah to Jackson- 
ville, and get the benefit of an old established line. 



THE FLORIDA SINKS. 

(The Savannah Morning News.) 

The recent accident on the Florida Southern Railway, near 
Gainesville, recalls the old question concerning the Florida sinks. 
What are they? The immediate vicinity of the recent accident 
where a train run up to Gainsville over an apparently solid road- 
bed, and on its return found that a part of the road-bed had dropped 
forty feet below the track, has probably more sinks within the ad- 
joining fifty acres of land than any other similar area in the state. 

About fifteen years ago I was employed to survey a line for a 
roadway across this track of land, and found it very difficult to lay 
out a road between the numerous deep sinks that would be safe 
for carriages. So close are some of them to one another that in 
some cases only a narrow ridge of soil, sloping both ways from the 
centre of the ridge remains solid enough for travel. Some of these 
sinks have water in them, some are dry, and some are forty feet 
in depth and bearing orange trees grow on the sloping sides. All 
efforts to find natural causes for these sinks have failed to account 
for their existence.

tral America and Mexico of the remains of the dwellings of a 
people who live beneath the surface of the earth, suggest the pos- 
sibility that these Florida sinks are the breaking in of the roofs of 
chambers formed by a race of people, who, in the long ago, occu- 
pied Florida. That subterranean chambers and passageways exist 
in Florida, is well known, but how they were formed, and for what 
purpose, I have never seen even suggested in any work on the sub- 
ject. 

The natural wells all have an artificial appearance. They are 
all entrances to tunnels in which water runs. Persons have often 



entered one and come out by another. I have heard it claimed 
that these natural wells are the open air-shafts to subterranean 
roadways, and that they lead to large rooms in some places. I 
have been told of a large subterranean chamber, near Archer, on 
the walls of which are picture-writings. 

A party of explorers have made some very strange discoveries 
regarding these Florida sinks. They have found that such of these 
sinks as they have examined all bear the same engineer's marks 
(attractive bodies placed in the ground), by which the outlines of 
the original work can be traced, and also the connecting passages; 
and this has led to the further discovery that the same lines are 
(luite numerous in places where there are no signs or sinks or 
natural wells to be seen.

The scene of the accident on the Florida Southern Railway is on 
the edge of Payne's prairie, where 20,000 acres of rich land might 
yield grain enough to require an immense storage capacity. The 
spot is centrally situated for water transportation of the crop across 
the prairie by its central drainage canal, and is easily accessible 
from a region where there are no large prairies to cultivate. 

Near Gainesville and in the city there are many places where it 
is often noticed that when horses trot over them a hollow sound 
comes from the ground. I have traced on some of these spots the 
very same lines that are found at the sinks. At Ocala, Dade City, 
Tampa, and Port Tampa City I have found the same lines, and I 
have been told of many other places where these lines have been 
traced by gentlemen interested in the same line of investigation.
